==="Khawarij"===
According to Islamic scholars, this hadith is about the coming of the Khawarij:
{{Quote|Sunan An-Nasa'i Vol. 5, Book 37, Hadith 4107|
It was narrated that 'Ali said:
"I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: 'At the end of time there will appear young people with foolish minds. Their faith will not pass through their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes through the target. If you meet them, then kill them, for killing them will bring reward to the one who killed them on the Day of Resurrection.'"
}}
Khawarij ("The Leavers") left the army of the caliph Ali in the middle of the 7th century. The "prediction" was written in the middle of the 9th century, two hundred years later.
The prophecy says "at the end of time", but Khawarij appeared more than a thousand years ago and the end of times didn't come. This is one of many failed prophecies.
